Can anyone out there tell me anything good or bad about the Utah Fortran
compiler from Ellis Computing that I see advertised in Byte?  This compiler
(along with compilers for Cobol and Pascal, and intrepreters for Basic and
Pilot) is advertised at $39.95. Normally I'd guess that it's a low quality
product (you usually get what you pay for) but this company has been around
for several years marketing the same thing for CP/M (called Nevada Fortran).
I also know that there ARE some good quality compilers out there for a low
price.  Does anyone know if this is one of them?  Thanks.
